Cormorant

Cormorants are medium-to-large birds with wingpans of 2d20+24 inches. They fish, and can dive from the water surface (sometimes using a “half-jump” before doing so), propelling themselves with feet and wings, in some cases up to a depth of 150 feet. In some places, cormorants may be used to fish. By tying a cord around the bird’s throat, the fisherman can keep control of the bird while preventing it from swallowing its catch. Other names: Sea raven, shag.
